Are There Any Phrases, Expressions You Hate?

[mike carey]

How do you mean, QTR? "This is of concern to me", rather than "This is concerning to me"? The latter is incorrect?

The thread is about terms or expressions that people hate, not necessarily that are wrong. 'Concerning' generally means 'about', not of concern (i.e. worry). While I'm not disconcerted by 'this is concerning to me' I wouldn't use it, I'd use 'of concern'.

Ah, I see. Rather than remember that, I'm just going to stick with "this is about" and "this worries me". :-D
